Texas A&M’s Kevin Sumlin, Florida’s Will Muschamp agitating each other

If you’re following this on the internet, especially on Twitter, this is being painted as a word feud between Gators coach Will Muschamp and Texas A&M coach Kevin Sumlin, even though neither of them has really said much. This is minutia, but people love it.
Every where Muschamp goes, Gators fans keep asking him about Texas A&M and Missouri as though they are alien planets. What is Kyle Field like? Do the Missouri players have green feet?

An overwhelming majority of what Muschamp has said about those football programs has been positive, but he uttered this smart remark to a fan at a recent Gator Club speech in Lakeland: “You ever been to College Station? It’ll be the only time you go.”

But mostly, Muschamp goes on and on praising those two programs, particularly Texas A&M and Sumlin. When asked about facing Texas A&M in the second week of the season, Muschamp said, “Gotta start fast, gotta prepare well. Throughout the summer it ought to be great motivation for our players.”

He has taken small shots at other teams in the past. Last spring, he made a joke about FSU coach Jimbo Fisher’s age (they are personal friends) and cracked this line about assistant coach Aubrey Hill coming from Miami, “He wanted to get out of Miami. I don’t blame him.”
